Erasmo Ramirez is a bottom of the barrel starter/reliever type and Nick Martinez is even worse drawing an "F" rating from me.

Ramirez has a 4.80 ERA. He hasn't pitched more than three innings since June 21. He'll be on a 60-to-80 pitch count. So the Rangers offense, which ranks No. 2 in homers and seventh in runs, will get to feast on Ramirez and Seattle's middle relief.

Martinez is back up in the majors because Yu Darvish was traded to the Dodgers Monday. He hasn't started in the big leagues since June 25. His ERA is 4.56. Seattle ranks in the top 12 in batting average and runs despite playing in a pitcher's park. Now they're in a hitter's park that plays better to the hitters during the hot summer.

The over has cashed nine of the last 12 times the teams have played each other in Arlington. The forecast is for a slight wind to be blowing in. This is more than offset with Jeff Nelson slated to be behind the plate. The over has cashed 57 percent of the time Nelson has been the home plate umpire during the last two years.
